Naked in the nonopticon

I found this article very informative and very creepy. It may be naive, but I never realized just how much I am possibly being tracked. From credit cards, to websites, even at the grocery store? You start to wonder where your private life actually becomes private. However, when you are using applications like Facebook, what do you expect? Going on sites like that and MySpace, you can’t be ignorant enough to think it won’t get out. Whenever you put something on the web, from what I understand, even after you delete it, it can still be found something like 6 months later?! These are things to consider when engaging in these kinds of websites. Your best bet is to make sure all your settings are private. Even though there is probably ways around it, at least it will be difficult to look at your site. Also, it has been becomming a rule of thumb that you shouldn’t put anything on your facebook you wouldnt want future employers to see. The new trend seems to be the looking at of Facebook sites by future employers and EVEN parents of students for all you teachers out there. It’s crazy. And I personally don’t want my students parents seeing pictures of me doing keg stands..I somehow don’t believe they would appreciate it…even if it was a record time.
